SOLID-SPHERE

To display properties on molecular surfaces, two different approaches are applied. One method assigns color codes to each grid point of the surface. The grid points are connected to lines chicken-wire) or to surfaces (solid sphere) and then the color values are interpolated onto a color gradient [200]. The second method projects colored textures onto the surface [202, 203] and is mostly used to display such properties as electrostatic potentials, polarizability, hydrophobidty, and spin density. 

Next we consider replacing the sandwiched fluid with the same liquid in which solid spheres are suspended at a volume fraction unit volume of liquid-a suspension of spheres in this case-the total volume of the spheres is also 0. We begin by considering the velocity gradient if the velocity of the top surface is to have the same value as in the case of the...

Specific. surface of solid spheres of 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) dia is 0.06 mVml (18,300 ftVfF) and a porous activated alumina pellet has about 600 mVml (1.83 X 10 ftVfF). Other considerations aside, a large surface is desirable because the rate of reaction is proportional to the accessible surface. On the other hand, large specific surface means pores of small diameter. 

The term three-phase fluidization requires some explanation, as it can be used to describe a variety of rather different operations. The three phases are gas, liquid and particulate solids, although other variations such as two immiscible liquids and particulate solids may exist in special applications. As in the case of a fixed-bed operation, both co-current and counter- current gas-liquid flow are permissible and, for each of these, both bubble flow, in which the liquid is the continuous phase and the gas dispersed, and trickle flow, in which the gas forms a continuous phase and the liquid is more or less dispersed, takes place. A well established device for countercurrent trickle flow, in which low-density solid spheres are fluidized by an upward current of gas and irrigated by a downward flow of liquid, is variously known as the turbulent bed, mobile bed and fluidized packing contactor, or the turbulent contact absorber when it is specifically used for gas absorption and/or dust removal. Still another variation is a three-phase spouted bed contactor. 

A fireball is represented as a solid sphere with a center height H and a diameter D. Let the radius of the sphere be / (/ = DU). (See Figure 3.11.) Distance x is measured from a point on the ground directly beneath the center of the fireball to the receptor at ground level. When this distance is greater than the radius of the fireball, the view factor can be calculated. 

A plot of A versus r, the calibration curve of OTHdC, is shown in Fig. 22.2. The value of constant C depends on whether the solvent/polymer is free draining (totally permeable), a solid sphere (totally nonpermeable), or in between. In the free-draining model by DiMarzio and Guttman (DG model) (3,4), C has a value of approximately 2.7, whereas in the impermeable hard sphere model by Brenner and Gaydos (BG model) (8), its value is approximately 4.89.

Scientists commonly interpret a theory in terms of a model, a simplified version of the object of study. Like hypotheses, theories and models must be subjected to experiment and revised if experimental results do not support them. For example, our current model of the atom has gone through many formulations and progressive revisions, starting from Dalton s vision of an atom as an uncut-table solid sphere to our current much more detailed model, which is described in Chapter 1. One of the main goals of this text is to show you how to build models, turn them into a testable form, and then refine them in the light of additional evidence. 

The constraints due to filler particles are somewhat more complicated to mimic analytically. A crude model is to assume solid spheres of an average functionality fp (—4) [15]. If... 

For dimensional reasons a similar relation should also hold when a hard solid sphere slides on a soft mbber surface.

A simplified analysis of the effect of particle shape or molecular conformation on SEC calibration has led to the prediction that the more open structure of rigid rod shaped solutes gives a relatively flat SEC-MW calibration curve. As the solute conformation becomes more compact (random-coil to solid-sphere), the SEC-MW calibration curve becomes increasingly steep...

The scaling exponent a can be related to the particle shape. One finds a = 2,0, 0.5, and 0.8 for a thin rod, solid sphere, ideal chain, and swollen chain, respectively. For most polymers K and a have been tabulated [23]. For a monodisperse sample Equation (36) can be used for a crude determination of the molar mass ... 

The deformation of a specimen during indentation consists of two parts, elastic strain and plastic deformation, the former being temporary and the latter permanent. The elastic part is approximately the same as the strain produced by pressing a solid sphere against the surface of the specimen. This is described in detail by the Hertz theory of elastic contact (Timoshenko and Goodier, 1970).
